Combined rip and crosscut saw



COMBINED RIP AND CROSSCUT SAW Filed July 27. 1931 Inventor Iz'ziard' flora ali'w Patented Jan. 12, 1932 UNTED STATES PAT RICHARD MORRIS, OF GWINN, MICHIGAN COMBINED RIP AND GROSSCUT SAW Application filed July 27, 1931. Serial No. 553,413.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to r be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically 19 pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like 01' corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which: 7 Figure 1 is a view looking toward the left side of the saw.

Figure 2 is a the left side of the saw. 1

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view at the right side thereof.

Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view looking as indicated by the line 44 of Fig. 2. v

Fig. 5 is a section on the line 55 of Fig. 2. As shown in these views, the blade 1 of the saw has its cutting edge provided with a plurality of slots 2 which slope downwardly and forwardly to the small end of the blade and divides the saw into a plurality of sections 3. Each section is formed with a front tooth 4, a center tooth 5 and a rear tooth 6. That portion of the edge between the tip of the tooth 4 to the tip of the tooth 5 is beveled as at 7 on the right side of the blade while the right face of the tooth 6 is straight. On the left side the tooth 6 is beveled as shown at 8 and the tip of the tooth 4 on the left side is beveled as shown at 9.

The front tooth 4 of the group of three teeth is a rip tooth and also a clearance tooth. This tooth is sharpened two ways, that is, it is sharpened as if it were a square across end tooth, then it is beveled on the opposite side, with the point to one side and not in the center.

The center and end teeth 5 and 6 of each groupare cross out, cutting teeth. They also help to carry the sawdust out of the saw out. All the teeth in each group are set; teeth 4 and 6 are set in one direction while 5 is set fragmentary large view at.

the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features "of the invention will be readily apparent.

it is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of vided that such changes the several parts profall within the scope of the appended claim.
